# AC Milan to lure away Premier League bad boy?

![](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Mario-Balotelli-Manchester-City_2846246-150x150.jpg)AC Milan look set to capitalise on [Manchester City](https://www.transfertavern.com/team/manchester-city)’s bad boy striker [Mario Balotelli](https://www.transfertavern.com/team/ac-milan)’s unhappiness and lure him away in January.

In a move reported by [sportinglife](https://www.sportinglife.com/football/news/article/2/8309738/ac-milan-consider-balotelli-bid), the Football Transfer Tavern has broken out into debate on what has otherwise been a quiet day. The Italian has always divided opinion and there have been many a spilt pint from heated debates surrounding his future. Given the fact he has only started one of City’s last eight games, he could favour a move back to his homeland with Milan in January.

As we gather around the dart board to discuss the latest move – which has been given its strongest hint at happening yet, with AC Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi responding to a mooted Balotelli bid with “No, it’s not a dream. I never dream,” it seems a move back to his homeland could be on the cards for the forward who has just a single goal to his name this campaign.

One thing we can all agree on is the wealth of attacking talent at the Etihad, and with the Rossoneri struggling in Serie A this term, a link up between Balotelli and fellow countryman El Shaarawy at the San Siro is as fine a prospective partnership as is our beer and burger deal that our punters go crazy for.

Of course this is football and nothing is harder to predict than Mario – well unless you count what accent Joey Barton is going to use in his next interview, so anything is possible.
